Beresford laughed, and was gone. Mr. Merivale was a tall, handsome man, with compressed lips and a determined eye, and he explained first one subject of his paintings, then another, with such fluency of speech, and showed himself to be conyersant on so many points of eru- dition, that the gentleman was betrayed hair, look- | ed, Beresford’s medi tions had evidently brought him to some decision, for, rising ‘Well, Charles, L am off; it is nearly |hastily from his chair, and flinging the eleven; we haye breakfasted so late, and | end of his cigar into the fire, he abruptly I shall be an hour in full finding this out-|lelt the room, Decimus hada suspicion {of where he was going, for Harry’s admi- ration had grown do ill-concealed infatu- ation, he former once asked him if it were wise for a fellow of family and for- tune to encourage a love for a girl of neither; and Harry :tnswered, fierecly, ‘that Miss Merivale was his equal in every respect,’ so Decinus held his tongue on the subject. Beresford had gone to the artist's, and, atter a long talk to him, every matter was confidentially explained, and it only waited Emily's consent for her to be his aflianced bride. ‘I will call her, and you shall ask her yourself,’ said Mr, Merivale (or Montrose, as he said his real name was). ‘Though, Waiting till her hour shall come, Raising her meck eyes, and saying ** Father let thy will be done,” Now the hour draws nigher, nigher, Pants she, gasps she now for breath, Soars her spirit higher, higher, Where's thy victory now, Oh Death. Select Giterature, THE ARTISTS DAUGHTER. ‘Decimus, who is that beautiful girl coming out of that picture shop ?? inquired flarry Beresford, of his friend, as they strolled down one of the fashionable Paris streets, after a morning lounge in the Tuileries, ‘Weil. really, Beresford, you can't mean that unpretending-looking young lady?’ exelafmed Decimus, not catching a fall view of the fair, though somewhat pale, face, the large, deep-blue eyes, and waves of auburn lair, ‘Let us ask af the shop she has just left. Let me see, Twant ® little painting for Mademoiselle De Vere’s boudoir. So come, Decimus ! Alter having purefased a little seene on the Rhine, Beresford asked ; in almost every action, as wel It was a known fact that Mv, had seen better days, a truth of which Beresford was soon aware, and he became deeply interested in the artist and his daughter; and as the Jatter accompanied her father to explain her own pictures, he was not disappointed of seeing her, She looked very lovely—quite as much so as the beautiful Madonna that glowed in soft coloring on the canyas before them. And when Ilarry Beresford stepped for- wird for a closer inspection of the picure, or, in reality, to ask some question of the pretty painter concerning it, as she held back the green covering, she let it sudden- ly fall, ex ming : ‘Oh, be caretul!—the slightest dust will injure it, and itis scarcely dry!’ And the color rose to her transparent temples, in the excitement of the moment. Harry thought he hitd never seen any- thing so lovely. Instead of saying 1 word of contrition, he gazed at her so long that she turned away and smiled at his ex- pression, interpreting it as one of sur- prised indignation that she, an artist, should speak soto him, But Harry was really growing very much in love with Emily Merivale, and he asked all sorts of questions when she explained her paint- ings: he could not understand why this was there, and that was not, and he really quite forgot what she had told him about that picture in the corner—would she mind ‘Who is that lady that left here just before we came 2?” | ‘ Miss Mevriy: Ter father is an artist, and we use Many of his pic- lures, for which we always get a ready sue, they are go beautiful, ~ And Miss Merivalt excels hey father in some styles, Lhis afternoon she came for some paints to finish off a splendid picture of the Iloly Madonna, intended for an altar piece for the private chapel of the Count uh Lisle” And the man, being Roman Catholic crossed himselt reverentially, continuing, with true Vrench loquacity ‘he eomte has been many times to see it, and is so pleased that he and his family are going to have their portraits in oil tiken by her; and to-morrow, gentlemen, Mr. Meriy 1e's | studio is thrown open to the public, f pressly that they may see ‘Our lady : were mu ° the subjects VO duskier imagiin. ; he should like a por trait of himself for his telling him again, he was so fond of pie- ‘ures.

It rests with your consent to be mine.’ No answer came, and Harry, confident from what her father had said what her answer would be, drew her towards him, taking silence for consent. She held back, and lifting up her eyes to his face, said: ‘It can never be, Mr. Beresford? Harry thought at first it was coquetry, but when she remained firm in her deei- sion, he was surprised and disappoint d. ‘But your father,’ he begun, having for- gotten eloquence in earnestness, ‘approves of it fully. Oh, Emily, can you never love me? Am so very detestable ?? ‘No, no!’ she answered quick, ‘ but ; ‘But what?’ he asked, eagerly. She gaye him no reply, save in the rosy blush that suffused her cheeks; and the torturing thought of a rival passed through his mind, ‘Tell me,’ he asked—‘ you love ano- ther?

Still she : she loves another, a loye of years, It appears highly romantic !’ And Hurry grew sareastic in the bitter- ness of his disappointment, Without another word, Decimus rose and left the room with a heart full—fall of hope, and beating fast. Ie strode rapidly to the artist's house; and having gained wdinittance, he scarcely knew what to say ; but his embarrassment was soon put to flight by the entrance of Emily Meriyale, or, more properly, Ella Montrose—his Ella. The recognition was equal on both sides, and when, halfian hour after, Mr, Montrose entered, what was his surprise at secing Ela and Charley side by side on the sofa! The former rose as her father ‘red, and Decimus explained tie whole ir, laying considerable stress on his in- crease of income, and finally asked for Hila’s hand in marriage, Mr. Montrose readily granted consent on condition that peace was made satisfactor- ily with Mr, Beresford; and as the latter was more infatuated than in love, and heartily glad that his friend Decimus was made so happy, that was casily accom- plished, and the marriage ceremony took place in London not long after—Decimus as bridegroom—Harry as best man, Mr. Montrose threw up his house in Hae and lived with his daughter and son- uw. ore many months had elapsed, Harry Beresford had married a young lady whom he trnly loved, and the first to congratu- iate him was old friend Charlie Decimus. at Tim “Cat” Restorep mw Excraxp.— The grand jury of the City of London, in inaking a@ prescutment to the Recorder with regard to the recent violent assaults and robberies in the streets, point out that this form of offence appears to be on the increase, and indicates a growing disposi- tion on the part of the criminal portion of the population to become yeur by year more savage and outrageous in their ac: tions. The grand jury suggest a liberal application of the lish as the fittest punish- ment, ands est their opinion that there is nothing from which the ruffian shrinks so much as from physical suffering. of which, though insensible to it when iutlict- ed on others, he is keenly sensible on his own person. ‘There can be no doubt that the grand jury have taken a perfectly cor- rect view of the disposition of the garrotter, |; Prison can have but few terrors for a wretch who has passed most of his exist- ence within its walls.
